me- Four years ago, when the high-lcense law
went into effect in Missouri, there were in that
State 1901 liquor saloons, which yielded an an
nuaI public revenue of $547 1920 now there are
only $3.50 saloons, but they return to the State
nm annual revenue of 81 ,s42, 208. The lowest IL
cense is $3.50 and the highest 81, 800. The bust
ness is in more responsible hands than ever before
the number Of saloons is steadily diminishing and
the low grog shops are rapidly disappearing
Exchange.
This is subject that it will pay the tenn
perance people to consider. In county like
Baltimore such a law as that in force in Missouri
would accomplish great deal of good by Kidding
the towns and villages of many of the vile dens
with which they are now infested, whose proprie-
tors, its seems, can always get the endorsement
of the necessary Irresponsible freehoders" in order
to procure their licenses. This endorsement
business Is a great fraud on every community and
the proper authorities should scrutinize more
closely the character of the men who sign the ap-
plications for license In these cases. The present
license law, as shown by the late Grand Jury re-
port, is hagranty violated by men who perjure
themselves in order to obtain lower priced license
than they are entitled to, and if examples were
made of some of these the effect would be bene-
fetal Our present license law is not bad one,
if rigidly enforced, but that it is openly and fla
GRAVITY violated is a fact that any one familiar
with the subject can testify to.

were, neither party having yet been able to elect
Senator. In Indiana the vote stands rs Demo-

the proper time, will vote with the latter, rs be-
ing necessary to choice. The legality of the
Lieutenant Governors election has not yet been
determined, but if decided in his favor he will
have the deciding vote and Republican will be
chosen. In New Jersey things are even in worse
middle and may result in each party electing
Senator, the eligibility of one or the other to be
determined by the Senate itself.

When the present administration came into
power there were several hundred Republican
postmasters holding Office in the Second Congress
ional district of Maryland. To-day D. N Hahn
was appointed postmaster at Finksburg, Carroll
county, thus removing the last Republican hold
over and leaving all the postofices in that district
in the hands of Democrats Washington letter in
Baltimore Sun.
The above statement is not exactly in accord
ance with the facts. Under the former admins
tration there were good many Democratic post
masters in the Second district-notably in Balti-
more county-and there are still some Republican
hold-overs whose places have not been filled by
Democrats for various causes, but who will no
doubt willingly step out when their successors are
named.

-J John Thomas Ross the colored man arrest
ed in Baltimore short time ago upon the charge
of numbering an old and friendless white woman
for the purpose of selling her body to medical
college, was tried in the Criminal Court on Friday
of last week and promptly convicted of murder in
the first degree. This crime created considerable
excitement in the city, particularly among the COL
ored people, and the feeling against Ross was very
strong. Such brutal and cold blooded murder
was never committed in Baltimore before, and the
prompt conviction of the perpetrator gives univer-
sal satisfaction.

g9- In the last issue of his paper, the Freder-
lex Citizen, Col. L. Victor Baughman, pays his
respects to Gen. Bradley 7. johnson, who is one
of the head men in Ex-Governor Hamilton's re-
form movement in this State. 1t isplain that Col.
Baughman has very poor opinion of the ere
form" professions of the General, who, he init
mates, left the State of Virginia under cloud.
But Gen. johnson treats the Colonies attack as q
joke, and when asked what he had to say on the
subject, declined to be interviewed. But this is
only little skirmish. The fun will begin later.

G% There are lively times ahead for the Dem
ocratc politicians of Baltimore county. The lines
for next falls campaign are already being pretty
clearly defined and plans for the contest are being
slowly but surely matured in such way as to
leave no doubt about there being the sharpest sort
of battle for supremacy. There will be a larger
list of candidates, perhaps than ever before, but
the number will narrow down before the primaries,
when district combinations will be formed only to
be slaughtered in cold blood when the convention
meets. The political chess board is being manip-
ulated now and every move means something.
